Born Jennifer Lee Morrow in Hollywood, California, she is the daughter of Blackboard Jungle actor Vic Morrow and Pollock screenwriter Barbara Turner, both of whom were Jewish, although Leigh was raised mostly without religion. Leigh changed her middle and last name, taking the middle name "Jason" in honor of family friend, the late actor, Jason Robards, Jr.

Jennifer Lee Morrow was born on February 5, 1962, in Hollywood, California; she changed her name to Jennifer Jason Leigh in honor of family friend and actor, Jason Robards. Tragedy struck her family early on, when her father, actor Vic Morrow, was decapitated in a freak helicopter accident in 1982 on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie. Her mother, Barbara Turner, is an actress/screenwriter/producer, and divorced Vic Morrow in 1964.
